Chieftain Elementary School

Summary:

Chieftain Elementary School consistently performs above the state and district averages in Ohio State Tests for both Mathematics and English Language Arts across grades 3 and 4. In 2022-2023, the school had 90.3% and 91.8% of 3rd and 4th-grade students, respectively, proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 62.2% and 66.8%. In the same year, Chieftain Elementary School had 74.2% and 83.6% of 3rd and 4th-grade students, respectively, proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 62.3% and 58.9%. The school also ranks exceptionally well for specific student groups, such as male students (ranked 60th out of 1,498 Ohio elementary schools in 2022-2023), special education students (ranked 2nd out of 856 in 2022-2023), and low socioeconomic status students (ranked 11th out of 1,447 in 2022-2023).

However, Chieftain Elementary School faces some challenges. The school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.4% in 2019-2020 to 21.5% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly white, with over 96% of students identifying as such in the 2022-2023 school year. This lack of racial diversity may limit the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience and prepare students for the diverse world they will encounter after graduation. While Chieftain Elementary School's academic performance is generally higher than the nearby Union Furnace Elementary, Hocking Hills Elementary, and Green Elementary schools, Central Elementary School within the same district has a higher statewide ranking and academic performance in some areas, suggesting room for improvement at Chieftain Elementary School.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
